    Ecuadorian platter
    Elaine C.

    Amazing local Ecuadorian spot with cheap and very authentic food. I got the platter special, which included a potato cake, pulled pork, tripe and potato stew and shrimp ceviche. It was a very big portion for one person and so flavorful!

    Pescado Frito

    I've been here several times and had many items from their menu, they are absolutely delicious! My favorite dishes are Caldo de Salchichas and Arroz Marinero and my boyfriend never gets enough of their Pescado Frito. The service is very good, though the servers probably only speak Spanish, my Spanish finally got good enough so I don't panic when they speak to me ;) You can also choose your sides with some of the dishes. My boyfriend and I always choose rice and beans, but you have the option to have fries(papas fritas) too, just ask! I also ordered take out here, but it's hit or miss, so I learned to eat in only.

    Left Roosevelt, Queens-where there are long strips of Ecuadorian restaurants- in search of better Ecuadorian food and I found it here in Castillo Restaurant. Great portions, good seasoning, fair prices, and modern/homie ambience feel.

    I've been to here at two separate occasions on a Groupon. THE food is DELICIOUS! They really load up your plate! Both times the service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend a visit. I will be back!

The seafood boils are served with potatoes, corn, and garlic bread. You have a choice of the twist special sauce (spice level is adjustable) or garlic butter; both are delicious. The seafood is very fresh here; I've tried all types - shrimp, crawfish, clams, snow crab, king crab, lobster, mussels, and cuttlefish. I've never had a bad meal here and would highly recommend this place if you enjoy seafood. I've also tried their baked oyster appetizer which is phenomenal. Service: Staff are friendly and very attentive. Service was excellent. Ambiance: The restaurant is not big, but they have a good number of tables. Both small and large groups can be accommodated. The place is a bit out of the water with nothing else around the area, but it's worth the trek if you're already at Industry City or Costco in the area. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Surrounded by grimy warehouses, mechanic shops and other industrial endeavors, Twist seafood is a fantastic restaurant that I believe everyone who lives in 40 block radius should be frequenting. Although initially I came here for the happy hour oysters, I'm so glad that I stayed for more. I situated myself at the bar and asked for a dozen oysters. These oysters were fresh but a bit on the smaller side. I do wish more thought and finesse went in to the oysters like a nicer sauce selection. They should definitely take notes from the oysters happy hour at Siren. Perhaps it was my enthusiasm slurping them away that made the kind lady shucking them ask me if I would like a dozen more? Hell yeah is the only appropriate response to such thoughtful questions. I washed down the oysters with a crisp glass of Allagash and in that moment decided why not order an entree too? I'm so happy I went with the New Zealand mussels prepared in their house special spicy butter sauce because Oh. My. God.... First of all, I have never seen a mussel this meat and gooey and fat and delicious. A literal shell fish lover's dream??? The sauce was decadent and spicy and aromatic and all the things a seafood boil sauce should be. The potatoes were steamed perfectly. The corn? Delicious and sweet and my only wish was that there was more of it. The garlic bread soaked up all the juices beautifully. Honestly even though I went in here searching for oysters I believe the real star of the show is obviously the seafood boil entrees... and also very reasonably priced. As I write about this my mouth is watering and I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on these mussels again. Please go here, you will not regret it!!

We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me.

My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

The floor is painted and glossy with ocean waves (like you're walking on water). It definitely gives sea vibes for sure. I was greeted by a young lady as soon as I walked in and she was so sweet.

It also had nice size chunks that salmon as well. The salmon was decent, but could've been seasoned a little but more. I'm typically an oyster gal, but they didn't have any on the menu so I opted for the mussels. They were tasty and well seasoned. If mussels are your vibe, I think you'll enjoy. If you're in Sunset Park, stop by and give them a try.

It's got a solid, nautical feel that gives you enough brass and wood to feel like a real lobster shack. They've got a generous stretch of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice, and inside, the music sits at a good volume. Then comes the food. I started with the clam chowder. It's good ...comforting, rich, well-made ......even if it's a little light on the minced clams. I caught myself digging around with my spoon, searching for a few more chunks of clam in the creamy broth, but I forgave it because the flavor was fantastic. Main event: the Maine lobster roll. Now look, I've eaten lobster rolls all over the Northeast..and a few other places. When you order a lobster roll, you're looking for flavor and simplicity. Red Hook's roll is good. The lobster is fresh. But here's the thing: at an overall tab running around $80 a head, you expect a top-tier entry into the culinary lobster roll pantheon. Instead, it lands on the smaller side of the spectrum. Worse, the kitchen holds back on the seasoning. Lobster is sweet and rich, sure, but it needs a little help...... a hint of herbs, or just a generous hand with the salt/pepper to elevate it from good to great. It's a good roll, but when the check landed, I couldn't help feeling a bit let down. To finish, I looked at the dessert choices. Options were slim, but I ordered the flourless chocolate cake and it did the job. I'll definitely give this place a second visit and possibly try some of the other items on their menu.

The grilled octopus salad had a distinct vinegar taste that contrasted with the feta very nicely. The octopus was firm, with some crispy tiny tentacles mixed in.

It was kind of giving Hong Kong fast food/cafeteria type of vibes. It wasn't too busy when I went on a weekend for lunch. I love that you get a complimentary side dish with the order, and I went for cucumber salad, but it was served chilled. The salad contained wood ear mushrooms, which are known to release toxins if kept overnight, so I hope it was made the day of and not old! I really liked the udon beef stir fry. It was pretty big for just $13.95, and the udon had a good texture (not too mushy) while the beef tasted fresh. For the sauerkraut fish, you can choose between small and large. I got the small but felt that it was still a lot, so the portions are really generous. You can also choose between three different types of fish: basa, snakehead, and grass carp. The staff said snakehead is the most popular so we just went with that. It was filet (aka deboned) and tender when it arrived. But I think I'm not a big fan of the sauerkraut flavor. Also, it was crazy mala even with just one pepper sign. I'd go back to try the tomato sauerkraut version. I actually liked another fish dish more: garlic grilled fish. It also had a bit of broth that was very tasty. I would get this one again. Ended the meal with complimentary grass jelly!

We knew the large would be big, but it was still more food than we expected once it came to the table. Definitely not something I'd order alone. The broth was sour first, then the spice started building in an amazing way after a few bites. It wasn't painfully spicy or anything, but there was enough chili oil to make us slow down a little. The basa was very soft and picked up a lot of the broth, which I liked. Some pieces had been sitting near the bottom longer and tasted even better. The restaurant is pretty casual. Our food came out quickly. I'd order the same flavor again, but next time I'd either bring more people or get a smaller portion because the large was honestly a lot for two.
